This
information will be shared with our clients without identifying the identity of any panelist.

eligible panelists are asked a number of questions about themselves and their households. This information
is
used as background information so that we can target surveys and other Panel activities we conduct and to
better
interpret results. Background information is reported in aggregate only - for instance, we might report
that,
28% of participants are from the East Coast.

personally identifiable information in order to communicate by mail, email or telephone with that panelist,
send
checks, gift certificates and other rewards, and, at a parent's/legal guardian's discretion; in order to
personalize communication sent to the parent/legal guardian for other household members (for example, a
parent
may opt to receive survey invitations using their child's first name that are sent to the Parent to review
and
approve. If the parent/legal guardian approves they may permit their child's participation and provide them
the
personalized invitation for that survey).
